Burbank, CA, April 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imaging3, Inc. (OTCQB:IGNG), (“Imaging3” or the “Company”), a development stage company focused on the introduction of disruptive technologies in the medical imaging industry, is updating investors on the status of the 10-K filing for 2018 and its prior announcement regarding the execution of a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to be acquired in a reverse acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Grapefruit Boulevard Investments, Inc. (‘GBI”) a privately held Los Angeles based cannabis company and simultaneously vend its imaging business into a privately held corporation which will be partially owned by post - Acquisition IGNG .
The Company will file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 on Tuesday April 16, 2019. John Hollister, IGNG’s current CEO stated, “We decided to take the extension on this filing to give us additional time to ensure that any additional disclosures necessitated by our proposed transaction with GBI were in fact included and properly presented in the Form 10-K. Our auditors concurred in this decision.”
Mr. Hollister went on to state, “We made significant progress last week with respect to settlements of IGNG’s outstanding debts, which are necessary in order for us to execute the definitive share exchange agreement with GBI and thereafter close the Acquisition. I am pleased with the progress that we have made in our negotiations with all parties and am optimistic that we will finalize all of these settlements in the next few days. In the meantime cannabis oil production continues at GBI’s Desert Hot Springs extraction facility.”
Potential investors in IGNG’s common shares are cautioned that there can be no assurances that the reverse acquisition of IGNG by GBI will ever be closed and that even if it is, there can be no assurance that the Company will thereafter be able to obtain the financing necessary to achieve its articulated goals and further that even if such financing is obtained that it will be sufficient for the Company to achieve its ultimate goals or to even remain in business.
About Imaging3, Inc.
Imaging3, Inc., founded in 1993, has developed a patented medical imaging technology, called the Dominion SmartScan™, which produces 3D X-ray images, effectively in real time. The SmartScan technology has the potential to allow healthcare professionals to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures more quickly and accurately, which may result in higher throughput for the clinicians and fewer safety risks for patients. Imaging3’s technology exposes patients to less harmful radiation than current equivalent imaging technologies such as CT scans. The company believes this will allow scans to be used in many settings where scanning is currently limited by concerns about radiation exposure. The technology also notably allows for reasonably convenient portability, easier installation and use-readiness, and a significantly reduced cost burden suitable for novel settings and for healthcare systems across varied global settings. Imaging3 plans to submit a 510(k) application to FDA during 2019 and or 2020 to gain marketing authorization for initial applications for the SmartScan technology.
